Receta Bread Rolls/Cutlets......step-by-step.

by Nisa Homey

We always observe Lent ....and abstain from meat and fish till Easter...for full 50 days....so you will see more of vegetarian cooking here till Easter.

Amma used to prepare these bread rolls as an easy snack....I really don't know whether to call it rolls or cutlets.....all you need is some bread slices, some filling, little milk, and oil for frying...since it is Lent I prepared a vegetable filling which is same as my vegetable cutlet....you can even fill it with beef or chicken.

Ingredients:

One packet bread.

About 1/2 cup milk.

Any vegetable filling.

Oil to deep fry.

Method:

1. Prepare a filling with potatoes or see my vegetable cutlets filling.....here I just fried some onions with ginger and green chillies...added garam masala, pepper powder, vinegar and salt to it....then mixed it well with mashed potatoes and carrots.

2. Take a flat plate and pour little cold milk preferably from the fridge into it and dip the bread (both sides) in the milk....you don't have to trim the bread sides.

3. Gently press with your fingers to squeeze out the milk

4. Put a teaspoon of the filling in the bread.

5. Now close the bread gently.

5. But tightly and firmly shape into an oval shaped ball....or round shape...amma always used to make into oval shape...so I sticked on to that....if there are cracks just simply press them and again shape them.

6. Likewise make rolls the similar way with as much as bread slices you want or till the filling finishes. Let it sit on a plate for a few min....so that the bread absorbs all the excess moisture. The brown color are the browned sides of the bread....it does not matter.....we are now going to deep fry them......(I hate wasting the brown sides).

7. Heat oil in a frying pan....and deep fry them.

8. When it is browned on all sides......strain on a paper napkin....this is one of the crunchiest rolls you will ever come across.

It taste YUM! with tomato sauce.

This is one of the easiest rolls....no dipping in eggs and bread crumbs...I hope you will try this weekend.

Enjoy!!
